From the Kos:Senate to Middle Class Drop Dead

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

After reading this I was going to reply to that with a string of vitriol and a long discussion about why we should be waging class warfare on those Republican bastards but I am going to forgo that pleasure. Its not worth my time.
I am simply never voting Republican again and I urge all […]

Go Ahead and Fire Her

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

One of Bush’s appointees, Mary Beth Buchanan seems to want to stick around like a barnacle to plague President Obama.
The only things this lady has managed to do is put a disabled old crazy lady under house arrest over dirty words and Tommy Chong in jail for selling glass pipes.
Give this […]

A good article by Victor Davis Hansen on the California Budget Crisis.

Friday, December 5th, 2008

As Y’all can tell I am back starting with this article.

My take on it is on the articles comments page and of course below
I have been critical of Prof. Hansen on occasion but I though that was a very good article a bit lyrical perhaps but still very good.
As you know I live […]

Yet Another Proof that Politicans Crave only Power

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

Despite the fact that nearly 90% of the people polled believe a referendum should settle the matter the NYC council extends terms limits so they can run again.
On Reuters. .
The excuse “troubled times”
This is disgusting but typical of the sort of ,look out for your buddy, screw the people, sort of featherbedding that makes […]

My Short Take on the Debates

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Well I finally saw a debate.
All it showed me is that neither of these men really should be president but if its the lesser of two weevils than Barrack Obama is the man.
Really its like Gore Vidal said – “Anyone who wants to be president is categorically unfit for the job.”

Foley to Face No Charges

Friday, September 19th, 2008

Rep. Foley is apparently not going to be charged. This according to Raw Story. .
As hotline blog mentions in its timeline the boys in question were 16. This is s underage in some areas, others not. He might have abused his position and certainly was a hypocrite (because of his work on the […]

The Party that Wrecked America

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

James Howard Kunstler may long for apocalypse and patriarchy but he still slings a mean blog.
This especially merits sharing

The Party That Wrecked America
It’s official: John McCain and Sarah Palin are up in the latest polls now that the conventions are over. This is a positive development. It will […]

Sarah Palin: Pitbull with Lipstick? No. Taliban with Lipstick.

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Juan Cole on Common Dreams and Salon.Com
Folks my advice is this. Vote Obama.
I’d prefer Barr and the Libertarians by a small margin (I don’t much like or trust Barr as of yet) but this election matters more than most and we can’t take chances.
Frankly speaking, while Obama can win there are a lot […]

Anti Republican Snark

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Looks folks unless you are either a benefactor of the Military Industrial Prison Complex making $100K or more or a Fundamentalist Christian making $250,000 a year or more who wants to enforce your doctrine on people all over the world at gun point you should never vote G.O.P (with the Ron Paul […]

My Take on if the Democrats Win

Friday, September 5th, 2008

If the Democrats win this years election I suspect that as long as they keep the most power hungry members in check and don’t go on a gun control binge that in general the party will do quite well. People tend to like the way Republicans make them feel but when push comes to shove […]
